Some of the cost codes, if not all, may be the same from one project to the next. Copying cost codes between projects in the same database greatly reduces the data entry effort, enabling you to create the project quickly. If the module detects duplicate cost codes, you can overwrite the original cost code with the new one or cancel the copy process.

Note: You must have Add rights to the Cost Worksheet Log Window for the target project. Rights are set in the User Project Access Dialog Box.
